Before you start

  • Make sure that you have set utf8 as default/server-character-set
  • make sure PostgreSQL is listening on TCP/IP connections!

  • If you encounter issues, you can drop the db and then run the web based installer again

    standard_conforming_strings is set to on and
    escape_string_warning is set to off
